Putney Bridge was en°. lutely impassable, as well as the towing path, from the attei.d anee of equestrians and pedestrians, amongst whom were hun dreds of elegantly-attired females. There were two false starts, occasioned by the eagerness of the men to get off, aid the great a'cumulation of boats. Watts got the start, when they did go off worse than any, but he soon pulled up. Phelps took the lead, and rounded first, Watts was second. The struggle down with the latter and Maynard was beautiful, but Watts came in second by half a length, Phelps being first.

The grand heat was started at I a'f-past seven, and the greatest anxiety was manifested. The start was like lightning, but Coombes bad the best of it. It was too dark to discrimi nate particularly, but Watts, Phelps, and Kipping were braving a struggle never surpassed. Coombes held the lead through out. Phelps came in second, Kipping third. There is an allegation against Phelps for fouling. Should it be proved, Kipping will take the second prize. Coombes was greeted as the winner with immense applause. He was not much d'slessed.

WILLIAM WALKER, highly estimating the patronage which the public has long given to his manu facture of Champagne (entirely from French grapes), begs most l' Q esPectfully t o announce that he has at the present time a very large 'TOCK or that excellent WINE, the quality and condition of "which make it difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish it from the first class of Champagne made in France; it may be had, with other wines of excellent quality (especially Ginger, which is uni rrsally recommended by the faculty as an exceirent stomachic), at Is warehouse, 5, Farringdon-street, London ; and at most of the respectable dealers in British wines in town and country. THE REAL CHELTENHAM SALTS, made from the Waters of the Montpellier Spas, the pro ?arty of the late Henry Thompson, Esq. e aters, Salts, which are obtained from the C heltenham S p a by a simple process of evaporation, and contain all their medicinal qualities, are the only Genuine Cheltenham Salts offered to the Public,—the numberless articles sold as such, by the Che mists and Druggists throughout the Kingdom being merely artifi ttal imitations of them; not containing a single particle of Chel lQaharn Salts in their composition. The Proprietors, therefore. feel called upon to caution their friends against the purchase of such factitiou s compounds, under the idea of their being the natu ral Productions of the Spa Waters, the medical effects of which thev vainly attempt to imitate. Zeal Cheltenham Salts are Sold in Crystalized and Eftio- Teseed Stains, in Bottles, at 2s. 6d., 45., and 9s. each, and may be l'ad either at the Laboratory or Montpellier Pump Room, Choi "'ham, and at the Depot, 7, Throgmorton-street, London ; also, at mo s t of the respectable Medicine Venders throughou t the -Kingdom 4' R.

SOLOMONS, Opticians ' and Aurists, late of Solomon's Terrace, during a profes sional experience of thirty years, have had ample opportunities of verifyi ng that the Organs of Sight and Hearing are synapa tileticallv relatesl to each other in such a peculiar manner, that when the former becomes imperfect, the sense of hearing be comes rapidly dull ; this fact is admitted by Scientific Authori ties, and must be observable by many thousands of individual. thus circumstanced, which is deserving the Public's most serious attention. The Messrs. Solomons, with a view to remedy such an affection, and after they have devoted their whole lives to this inte resting branch o f science, have succeeded in effecting for imperfect a most scientific improvement in the manufacture of a Trans parency for SPECTACLES, and a Preventive and Cure in certain asses el deafness, and where skill and art has no avail they have in vented azt OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR upon a very const:uction, scarcely perceptible, it requires no holding, and the i.ndividuai immediately becomes one of the party in the general , conversation. iv this important discovery, not only is defective btought to . tezture, but the sense of hearing is restored to its 46 ginal ac.tteness ; those lenses are so constructed and adapted to ?teak and imperfect eyesight, upon such scientific principles, com bined with the long extensive experience of the Messrs. Solomons, Which will be found to effect such an extent of relief to those af flicted with defective vision and dulness of hearing that will far ex ceed their utmost and mast sanguine expectations.

I',lte patronage of Nobility and Gentry, and recommenda tions of the pincipal Oculist Physicians and Surgeons in London, and through Gee,At Britain as well as on the Continent, would be. too expe,esive and munerous for insertion. The Messrs. Solomons are anxious that the public should not confound them with persons cf the same name, it being admitted by professions: gentlemen of the highest character, and may be seen by any individua;., that their newly invented Spectacles and Opera tive Voice Conductors for deafness, surpass any thing of the kind put before the pui lic, they request attention to the first part of tbssr names and address, 39, .Albemarle-street.

T 0 the HOLDERS of POLICIES in the EQUITABLE INSURANCE COMPANY ENTITLED to the BONUS, due Ist January, 1840, the UNITED KING DOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY affords the most con venient and moderate way of securing the Bonuses. If a Gentleman of 65, for instance, is entitled to a bonus of 1,0001., and should die previous to 1840, when the bonus becomes due, he may secure the same to his family by the payment of only three half-yearly premiums, at the rate of 41. Its. 7d. per cent., or 451. lbs. 10d. half-yearly, the insured being:allowed credit for the other half, being the amount of premium unpaid. A Gentleman of 70, in like manner, may secure 1,0001. at the half-yearly premium of 61. per cent., being 60/., with this great advantage, that, should he feel inclined to continue the insurance, he can do so, on the same terms for five years, and afterwards for life, by paying the full premium annually, which will be exactly double the half yearly, as stated, or the Insurance may be allowed to expire when the bonus of the Equitable is safe ; this Company having no claim for the half credit allowed, unless death should happen previous to the bonus being secure, when the amount of credit will be deducted from the sum insured. Every information will be afforded on applieation to Edward Boyd, Esq., Resident Director, United Kingdom Life Assurance Office, 8, Waterloo-place, Pall Mall, London.

The entire MANOR and LORDSHIP of ROSSINGTON, an extensive FREEHOLD ESTATE, WOODS, and PLANTA TIONS, of nearly 3,000 acres, situate on the Great North Road, 156 miles from London to York and Edinburgh, and four miles south of the town of Doncaster. MR. TILBURN will SELL by AUCTION, at the Mansion-house in Doncaster, on THURSDAY, the 25th day of October, at Two o'Clock, the ROSSINGTON ESTATE, comprehending the entire Manor, Lordship, and Parish of Rossington, the property of the Corporation of Doncaster, si tuate in a favourite part of the county of York, extending over nearly 3,000 acres of fertile arable (turnip and barley soil), meadow, pasture, and wood lands, within a ring fence, subdivided into 14 eligible farms by thriving quickset hedges. The whole of the rural village of Rossington (except the rectory) composed chiefly of modern farm-houses, home-steads, and agricultural buildings, all in good order and condition, well built and judiciously planned with great consideration to the occupancy and convenience of an old and highly respected tenantry, with comfortable cottages and pro lific gardens for an industrious and well-regulated labouring popu lation. Shooters'-hill, the residence of R. F. A. Freeman, Esq., delightfully situate, is part of the valuable domain, approached from its lodge on the London-road, and the mansion, though of unassuming pretension, is full of comfort, presenting a neat eleva tion, environed by tastefully displayed plantations, gardens, plea sure grounds, and park like enclosures, quite a gentleman's resi dence, replete with all requisite domestic offices ; and complete farm buildings, for 400 acres of land attached, and let on building lease at a low rent, with the mansion, commanding extensive and varied scenery over the soft tndulating and far spreading woods of Ros sington, (the town of Doncaster in view,) and closed by rising grounds and woods in the distant horizon. Rossington Grange, secluded by sheltering woods, and watered by the Thorne Rivulet. On the westerly side of the estate is a highly respectable farm residence, with capital homestead, buildings, and premises for 300 acres of land, forming altogether one of the most valuable farms of the neighbourhood. The Inn, called the Corporation Arms, but more generally known by the appellation of Rossington-bridge, with its excellent accommodation, stabling for 100 horses, and spacious farmstead and lands, is admirably situate by the high London ' road on the northern boundary, and has attained, under the present management, that well-merited reputation which its sporting and agricultural friends are on all occasions anxious to proclaim. The luxuriant woods and thriving plantat:ons, pro verbial for their neat and healthy appearance, and the theme of general praise, contain nearly 300 acres, yielding a very considerable annual income, including the Munster, Holms' Carr, and Parks' Woods, of fine grown oak timber, which, with the other covers upon the estate, and the approximating strictly preserved grounds of J. Walbanke Childers, Esq., M.P., George Greaves, Esq., and others, and parts of the Nottinghamshire possessions of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, afford covert and plain shooting equal to any in the kingdom. The vicinity of Doncaster has been justly celebrated for its numerous seats of the nobility and gentry and fashionable society. The fox-hunting excellent, the Badsworth and Scarborough kennels close at hand, and the Fitzwilliam and Bramham Hunts within distance. The Manor of Rossington, with the rights, royalties, and immunities thereunto appertaining, is co extensive with the lordship, and held by the Corporation of Don caster; by Royal grant from Henry VII. Both arc of freehold tenure ; the land-tax is redeemed, and the tithes commuted to 6141. per annum. The present rental of the farms upon the estate, with the woods in band, is estimated at 3,2001. per annum. It would be vain to attempt to describe all the advantages which this beautiful domain possesses. It must be seen to be fully appreciated, and it may in truth be said to be one of the most compact and de sirable estates in the county, and a capital and substantial landed investment. The advowson, or perpetual right of presentation to the Rectory of Rossington, of the annual value of upwards of 7001., is in the gift of the Corporation, and will be sold subsequently under the direction of her Majesty's Ecclesiastical Commissioners. Descriptive particulars and plans are preparing, and may shortly be had at the news-rooms of York, Leeds, Hull, Sheffield, Man chester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow, and Edinburgh ; the public libraries of Brighton, Cheltenham, and Bath ; at the Auc tion Mart ; at Garraway'sof Messrs.

STEAM-SHIP. It is an extraordinary fact, that before the first accident took place on board the Victoria Hull steam-ship, in March last, several persons gave an opinion unfavourable to the principle on which the boiler and engines were constructed, and pre dicted that something very serious would happen if their use was persevered in. A short time previous to the Victoria leaving Hull, the engines and boilers were inspected by the engineer belonging to that place, who said he believed the boilers were not safe, and that an accident would happen the first trip from Hull to London. There was great difficulty in getting up steam, and the vessel was stopped four times. When the vessel arrived in the river, she was visited by Mr. Beardmore, a most experienced and talented man, the superintending engineer of the vessels of the General Steam Navigation Company, who was acquainted with Allen the then chief engineer. Mr. Beardmore, on going into the engine -room, observed to Allen " there is something wrong hare," and advised his friend to have nothing more to do with the management of such machinery, for he was decidedly of opinion the boilers were not safe. Allen, however, did not like to give up his situation : he said he had had a good deal of trouble with the engines and boilers coming up to London, but he believed they would answer very well in a short time. A week afterwards this poor fellow, who was dreadfully scalded by the first explosion, was a corpse. Mr. North, a respectable master-shipwright, who built the Victoria, which is certainly one of the most beautiful vessels ever seen afloat, was invited to go down the River with the owners and their friends on the 16th of March, when the first explosion took place ; but he declined doing so , b elievin g the boilers were not safe. It was intimated to him by one of the owners of the ship, that his presence would be expected on the pleasure trip, as he was the builder of the vessel. Mr. North said he would not risk his life; lie was afraid the boilers would burst, and he was determined to remain ashore, which he did. His anticipations were too correct—one of the boilers did burst, and killed five men. When the first inquest ter minated at Greenwich, it was publicly stated in the News papers that the boilers were unsafe, and experienced men declared that another similar occurrence must inevitably happen if the same boilers were again used, and several of the unfortunate men killed by the second explosion on the 14th of June were strongly urged by their friends not to act as firemen and stokers on board the Victoria. After the doubts thrown upon the safety of the Victoria's boilers, and the opinions given by the practical men that their construction was unsafe, it is, to say the least of it, very singular that their use should have been continued by the owners until a second accident, at tended with the loss of nine more lives, occurred. It has been rumoured, that what chiefly induced the owners to con t'nue their use after the first explosion was, that they knew the boilers required more attention from the engineers than others, and that if any explosion did occur it must be inwards, and prove fatal to the men in the engine room only, their peculiar construction making it very unlikely that they should burst at the top and kill any of the passengers. There is no doubt, however, that all on board were, upon both oc casions, in very great danger, while the alarm was extreme. The Victoria has been recently towed out of the East Indie dock, where she was moored after the second accident, and towed down to Hull. The boilers, it is understood, will not be used again. The remarks of Mr. Baker, the Coroner, that a persevere:ace in error, the use of boilers and machinery notoriously unsafe, would render the parties liable to criminal proceedings—to a charge of manslaughter at least—if ano ther accident attended with similar fatal results occurred, will no doubt have its due weight. Indeed, it would be an act of folly eulpabe in the extreme, if any attempt was made to continue the use of the boilers in the Victoria after what has happened. In levvin; a deodand of 1,500/. on the boilers and engines of the Victoria, the Jury were influenced by the great weight of practical testimony against the sufficiency of the former. Messrs. Seaward, Penn, Field (of the firm of Maudslay and Field), Ewart, the Government engineer, and others exten sively engaged in the manufacture of steam-engines and boilers, and Professor Farey, having condemned them. The testi mony on the other side was given by man of great respectabi lity, but not of much practical experience. The engines and boilers of the Victoria were worked upon a pressure of upwards of 101 b. on the square inch. The pressure or the engines and boilers of the steam vessels employed on the London river never exceeds 61b. on the square inch, and seldom more than four. The vessels of the Steam Navigation Company, the finest and most valuable fleet of steamers in Europe, 47 in number, have never met with a single accident as far as the machinery, en gines, end boilers are concerned. The pressure under any circumstances not being allowed to exceed Mb., the average gur, the safety of the low pressure in pressure only being the General Steam Navigation Company's vessels, and in all the steamers in the river Thames, may be inferred from the fact that an accident was never known to happen to any of them. This is much to the credit of the London engineers ge nerally. While steam boiler explosions are co mm on in the north and other parts of Great Britain, such a thing has never been heard of in vessels fitted up with London engines and machinery, although the speed of the river vessels has never been excelled. It was stated by Mr. David Napier, from whose designs the boilers and engines of the Victoria were constructed , that several vessels containing his machinery, engines, and boilers, were disposed of to the General Steam Navigation Company a few years ago, and were now running. A letter, contradict int? part of this statement was forwarded to certain parties during the inquest, and was unnoticed. The fact is, that when t he General Steam Navigation Company bought the ves sels in question, the old boilers and engines were taken out, made by the Company's engineer, substituted. and new one s, The widows and families of the poor men killed by the last explosion have boon reduced to a state of most lamentable stress, and their case is in every respect a pitiable one. TATTERSALL' B—YESTERDAY. ; The recent meeting at York brought out the Pucelle filly in such favourable colours that her friends in that neighbourhood imme diately gave her a lift in the odds on the above race, and many el pectea that the business at " the corner" would have a correspond ing effect. Such, however, has not proved to be the case ; for, although the demonstrations in the early part of yesterday afternoon might have warranted an impression that she was " coming," it very soon became apparent that another favourite in the same stable was to be placed in the " front of the battle." One party was lucky enough to get 15 to 1 in fifties, but nearly the whole of the money laid out (two or three hundred pounds) was invested at 12 to 1. It is true that, in order to complete a commission, a point more was laid to ten pounds, but at the close of the room no ode would bet more than the odds mentioned (12 to 1). Pucelle in the meantime declined to 20 to I, with a very feeble party. lon and Don John have at length changed places. Offers to bet 7to 2 agst the former, and to take it about the Don, each having a strong party. Except a slight retrogression in Appleton Lad, there is no other change worthy of observation.

GRAND REGATTA AT PVTNEY• —The extraordinary finenes, of the weather, and the excellence of the bill of fare, drew a large assemblage yesterday to Putney. The match was got up by the gentlemen comprising the Triton and La Sylphide Clubs, and introduced not only the crack men of the two List seasons, but two or three favourites of by-gone years. Untii this season it has been usual to make the distance of great matches from Westminster to Putney ; but the great patron age bestowed by persons in that vicinity, and the beauty of the water here, and the surrounding scenery, have induced gen tlemen to select that spot as one for the three greatest strug gles ever occurring in one season. Independent of the names of Coombes, Phelps, Watts, Maynard, Campbell, and Kipping, Noulton, payslip, and Shelton, had been included in the race of yesterday. Noulton and Hayslip had baen rivals of former years, and the fame of both mcn was well known. Nouiton as a starter, and picker-up, has long been considered the greatest artiste on the river ; and although not engaged, we believe, in a single sculler's wager forsome time, he was a great favourite, and it was thought by many that his science, and the merits of a new boat, built expressly for this occasion, might win him the purse of sovereigns, .which we are informod amounted to upwards of 601. The contest was with ten pair of sculls, in three heats; The first heat composed of five pair of sculls, and the second of the remainder. lhe two first pairs of each of these rowing for the third and grand heat. At half-past three the cutters, which were very numerous, as was the show of gentlemen's wherries, began moving to the snot, and the scene was all bustle and animation. Coombes, who lost the wager last week by accident, was the first fa vourite; Phelps, of Fulham, was certainly next; but Noulton bad not been lately pulled against either ;, and this, with the circumstance of Watts being thought in flue condition, divided the odds. At half-past four the following were placed kr the first heat :-- Robert Coombes, black; William Noulton, blue; George Canipliall, red ; J. Kipping, yellow ; and J. Shelton, black str:pys. The distance was, to start from Putney Bridge, round a boat, off the Doves, at Hammersmith, down the Surrey shore, round a boat off Aviss's, and up to the Duke's Head, to finish the heat. Actor a false start, tho whole five men went away at a splen did pace, Camilell having the best station. Coombei im mediately afterw!rds took the lead, and Noulton dropped into the rear. Carnebell rowel woliderfolly, but was overhauled by Kipping:, who went right up to Coon,b7s's quarter. The t o ter, however, was too good for Lira, and went away main in sttl showing them the lead. Coombes maintained his al , ;., n tige, and came in first ; Kipping was second.

INSPECTOR OF STEAN-VESSELS.—We are glad to understand that the appointment of an authuris.2d Inspc•etcr of steam-vet:els is under the serious consideration of Go vernment. MR. RICHARD OASTLER. The following singular letter, and advertisement having re ference to it, are copied from the Leeds Mercury of the 25th instant: " Mr. RICHARD OASTLER. "We have received the following letter from Thomas Thorn hill, Esq., of Fixby Hall, who lately discharged Mr. Richard Oastler from his service. A reply from Mr. Ostler will be found in our advertising columns : " ' Mr. Editor, " Sir—Having seen a printed paper this day, which in vites persons to join in a procession to accompany Mr. R. Oastler upon his leaving my house, Fixby Hall ; and which paper appears to show that I parted with Mr. Oastler (my steward) upon the subject of the Poor-laws ; I think it is pro per, in justice to myself, to state that I discharged Mr. R. Oastler because he converted my money to his own use ; and paid so little attention to my concerns and his duty, that the persons employed under him have cheated me. Should any person doubt this, I am willing to prove it to his satisfaction, if he will call upon me at any time. " ' You will much oblige me by inserting this in your paper. " Your obedient servant, " THOMAS THORNHILL. " Cowes, August 17, 1838.' " The following is the reply of Mr. Oastler, above alluded ~ TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND. to : " FELLOW COUNTRYMEN,-1 have this moment, for the first time, heard that my late master has not contented himself with taking my bread, but that he has ordered an advertise ment to be inserted in all the local papers, charging me with cheating him, and with neglecting his business. By my father's memory, believe me IT IS NOT TRUE. I have only time to say, that if there be one human being whom I dale meet in the world to come without fear, it is Thomas Thorn hill, Esq. " Come to Fixby on Saturday, and go down to Hudders field with me. Then I will tell you something which you do not know—and afterwards I will, in a series of letters t 3 your. selves, show you what it is to be the steward of an absentue landlord. "Me cheat the 'squire 1 I have spent hundreds of my own in his service ! I will not, however, lose my character I You shall know all about it in due time. " I am, fellow countrymen, faithfully yours, " RICHARD OASTLER. " hi :by Hall, near Huddersfield, Aug. 24, 1838. "P. S.—How delighted the Whigs will he They St ill now sing, Oh, be joyful!' I dare refer all questions between myself and Mr. Thornhill to the greatest foe I have—ay, even to a Whig. R. 0." BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, AUG. 25.—The scientific business of the Association may now be considered virtually at a close, as yesterday the business at most of the sections terminated, and one or two only remain open for the purpose of getting through the arrcar of business, which this year exceeded that of any previous meeting. The sections were not yesterday so w.ll attended, on account of the several entertainments given, and of the excursions of interest, both mechanical and geolo gical, that were made to different parts of the vicinity. Yes terday, the column having been completed, the statue of Earl. Grey was placed in its position, amidst the cheers of a vast number of persons, with every other demonstration of joy. A numerous party, composed principally of the geological section, in which were abcut two hundred persons, embarked i❑ two steam-boats from the quay, at an early hour yesterday morning, for Tynemouth. After inspecting the shore and the fallen rocks, the next object of attention was the great basaltic dyke et the promontory, every person scrambling as he best could over the rocks. No accident of any kind, notwithstand- ing many dangerous positions, and numerous slips and Nis,. took place, until near Cullercoats, when a youth lost his foot ing on the cliffs and fell to the shore, by which be was severely, though not dangerously, injured. Just beyond this spot Pro fessor Sedgwick mounted a projecting cliff of the rock, and when the numerous assemblage had congregated he described the peculiar features of the coast just traversed, by showing its true position with relation to the coal series, itis mode of deposition, and other phenomena. The scene at this mo meet was extremuly beautiful and imposing. The Professor uncovered, and standing in front of the wide expanse of the German Ocean, and on both sides the ledges of rocks which he was describing, as well as the various crevic e s and ledges above, crowded with anxious listeners, it was impossi ble to contemplate the speaker in his most animating manner and address without referring to that remote period when from such spots the Druids, the teachers of the people, addressed our rude ancestors. On leasing these quarries, Professor Sedgwick again took his station on a spot wbero the coal comes out on the surface, where he explained the operation and effect of this dislocation, and then proceeded to take a view of the great works in progress in the neighbourhood, through the combined influence of property and science. After same hours enga g ed in these employments, the members re turned by the steamers at au early hour in the afternoon to Newcastle. meeting North SATURDAYu this morningE v a N sr o a . t T he he Moot - e h r a al li, C w o h m e m a itt s e i e r c h h e a ld ris: Lemon, mb ß er a l r a t i . l , d, too vv k ho the wa c s ha a ir bs i e n nt pl o a:e th o e f gtlrroeunDdakoef in of disposition. Before the minutes of the preceding meeting of the Committee were confirmed, Mr. Babbage expressed his intention of resigning his situation as one of the trustees, on account of a difference of opinion with one of his colleagues. He stated that the meeting at Birmingham would be the latest point at which he should retire. Professor Peacock thee read the awards of the Committee of Regulations, either for the purpose of original investigations, or for the renewal. of former grants. It was also stated that there had been refused or stlspended the following applications :—Section A, 5701., B, 2001., F', 1001., and G, 250/. The total amount of money granted was 3,7421., and refused 1,0971. It was estimated that, as on former, years, a considerable portion of the sum would not be called for ; but many of them were in such a state of pro gress that there would be a great demand upon the funds. A. considerable discussion took place upon the refusal of a re commendation of 2001. from the medical and chemical sec tions, which was applied for for the purpose of bringing over from America a native of that country, who, from an artificial, opening in the stomach, admitted the most singular opportu nity for inspecting the phenomena of digestion, whilst it was considered that such en opportunity would not again occur. The motion was, however, refused by a 8111311 majority. Mr. TAT LOB, the treasurer, read the report of the accounts, which included the following details :—Balance in nand at tilts last report, 2481. ; received for compositions and subscriptions, 2,9411. ; dividends on stock, 150/. ' • and the sale of books, 4221 ; making a total of 3,7611. The expenditure was, for disbursements at Liverpool, to the local Council, 279/. 61.; sundry expenses, 151/. ; pureoase of stock, 9101. ; salarin 3751. ; grants to scientific objects, 9321. ; printing, 482/. ( and in the bankers' hands, 5131., leaving a present balance t 670/. The nroperty of the Association consisted, besides o 5,300/. in the Three per Cents., and the value of tinovolurn. of reports, 1,102!., making a total of 5,800/. The amourf of money voted at Liverpool was 3,0571., whilst the chin io upon it were 1,3921. The money received in Ne•anast was, fur composition 4031., subscriptions from rcsidet; members 1,3651., and from non-resident members 5651.._ vai;ch with the sale of books, ttnozninting to 871. 13s, gave a tuts' of 2,400/. 13s. The Committee of commendations also sugszostea the following app'icatio: to be made to the Goverotnoot by deputations from the Assr,• elation :-1. To give additional powers to the observatory at th Cape of Good Hopo, and appaint an additional assistant; Sl To make extontions of the arc in India, as chilling to form mote correct idea of the figure of the earth ; 3.
